90’s Carrera Optima and wheels I picked up earlier

I spotted this bike on eBay this morning and made a 2 hour round trip to collect it. I was more interested in the blue wheels included in the sale but unfortunately, after inspection when I got home earlier, they appear to be toast looking at the cracks by the nipples?

He gave me a few more tyres and wheels too… the ones on the floor are destined for the recycling centre. I didn’t pay much for it so I’m hoping there’s something amongst it all that can recoup my outlay!

I could have had this Peugeot Tom something? but it wouldn’t of fit in my car. There was also this wee Universal bike with Kelloggs reflectors!

Shouldn't take much for you to recoup the £30 odd quid. I was tempted as I wanted the bars and wheels on the bike but would have been a 10 hour round trip for me so not viable.

If you do fancy selling the bars and wheels let me know.
 
Quite a few of the parts have been swapped on that Carrera, but I'd be interested in the frame number if you can find it! Thanks!

I'll PM you.
